According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, one in three students reported being bullied in 2013. The National Crime Victimization Survey confirmed these results, stating 64.5 percent reported the bullying incidents happened once or twice during the school year, with 7.8 percent stating the bullying occurred on a daily basis. Parents and students concerned about bullying often turn to Ottawa martial arts instruction to prevent incidents of this type, while teaching the child how to cope with bullies."Ottawa martial arts classes teach children how to cope with bullying. Students learn when to protect themselves and when it is best to walk away. If the student finds he or she cannot walk away, they are taught the five most effective strikes to stop their opponent. Students become calmer and release stress as they participate in these classes, while also learning to establish goals and follow through with them," Martin Patenaude, spokesperson for Ottawa Martial Arts Patenaude, explains.
Children as young as three benefit from martial arts instruction. They learn how to avoid conflict and bond with their parents and siblings while doing so. Core values remain an essential part of the instruction, and the home becomes a more peaceful place. In fact, parents of ADD and ADHD children find their kids benefit significantly from instruction of this type.
"Children and adults alike react more positively to challenges they are facing, rather than becoming frustrated. Those who take martial arts classes develop a general sense of well being and happiness and tend to be more optimistic about the future. These benefits are witnessed in every area of the student's life, no matter what age they are," Patenaude continues.
Adults love martial arts also as one can easily get into shape while learning self protection skills. Take a kickboxing class and burn up to 800 calories in one hour or take two to three classes a week and learn self defense. The options are endless, and there is a class for everyone.
"The one week trial period comes with no risk or obligation. Individuals taking advantage of this special find they can't wait to continue, as they are having fun while getting into shape and learning new skills.
